Consumer Description

SINCE PURCHASING VEHICLE IN AUGUST 1999, IT HAS INTERMITTENTLY "POPPED" OUT OF FIRST GEAR AND INTO NEUTRAL. THE SHIFTER, WITHOUT BEING TOUCHED, SUDDENLY POPS INTO NEUTRAL UPON ACCELERATION, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL. DEALERSHIP HAS REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN TEST DRIVE AND RUN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, WHICH THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO VERIFY. I WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE A COPY OF THE DIAGNOSTIC REPORT BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE A PRINTER. *AK
